Socialist Senator Sanders: Media Companies Shouldn’t Be Owned by Republicans
Bernie Sanders, Vermont Socialist and Senator, doesn’t believe in free speech for Republicans : Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said he would look to block a merger between NBC and Comcast, citing the decision last week by MSNBC to suspend liberal anchor Keith Olbermann. Sanders said Comcast’s attempt to acquire NBC from General Electric would result in “another media giant run by a Republican supporter of George W. Bush.” The Vermont senator, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, has loudly criticized MSNBC’s suspension of Olbermann last week for violating company policies when he donated to three Democratic candidates. The suspension was imposed Friday, and Olbermann will be back on the air Tuesday night. Bernie doesn’t seem to realize that Keith Olberdork’s suspension had nothing to do with Republicans because the Comcast merger has not gone through yet and MSNBC is still being run by the same crazy libs who have run it for years. Preemptive blame of the future leaders of MSNBC is simply delusional. And frankly, Olberdork probably would not have been suspended had a “supporter of George W. Bush” been in charge.
